Shrine of Kooroo
The Shrines of Kooroo, also known as the Temples of Kooroo, were ancient monuments crafted from stone and found on a number of planets. Their creators and original function remain unknown, but the Fellowship of Kooroo asserted that these structures were erected to venerate Kooroo.
Characteristics
All of the Shrines were built using a consistent, fundamental design. They consisted of three levels: the bottom two were enclosed, while the top level was open, featuring stone pillars that supported a roof. Doors provided access to the enclosed chambers, which sometimes held undeciphered hieroglyphs, artwork, or even holograms. Obelisks and standing stones, arranged in a structured pattern, were situated around each Shrine, extending up to 100 meters away.
Individuals Force-sensitives have claimed that the Shrines possessed an "echo" effect, reflecting their perceptions and enabling visions from distances spanning light-years.
History
Experts determined the Shrines to be over 20,000 years in age, dating back to 11 ABY.
These structures were scattered across planets in the Outer Rim, including Gelgelar, Boztrok, Sufezz, Branteez, and Vaynai. The considerable distance separating Gelgelar, located within or near the Elrood sector, and Vaynai, situated close to the Corporate Sector, suggests a remarkably widespread distribution of these sites. One hypothesis proposed that they formed part of an ancient teleportation system.
The Shrine on Gelgelar, which was situated in the Gelgelar Free Port, served as the residence of the Wise Man of Kooroo during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
